Easter 2010

Our Easter started with the making of Bunny Buns on Thursday. YUMMY! Then on Friday, the Davis kids came over to color eggs with us. Jaco decided 10 years of coloring eggs is enough and chose not to dye any this year. The girls had fun because nothing makes them happier than when mom says it is OK to make a mess!

Saturday morning we went to an Egg hunt. Instead of braving the insane city sponsored egg hunt, I coordinated one with friends from church. I asked everyone who wanted to participate to bring me 2 dozen filled plastic eggs before Saturday morning. We ended up with a big crowd of kids and 360 eggs to find! It was so easy and much better than doing it with a crowd of strangers. We will definitely be doing it again next year!

Easter morning, the kids woke up to baskets of candy and summer toys. Balls, bubbles, sidewalk chalk, kites, and of course chocolate! They each also got a game. Jaco got the Rubix Magic and the girls got card games. La-La's is a cookie recipe game and she was kind of disappointed when she realized it was just a game and not actual cookie recipes; although she did attempt to make one of the recipes! Care Bear's is a sandwich building game which we play almost daily!

Saturday night, Care Bear started running a fever. She said her throat hurt and her tummy and head. We had to alternate the advil and tylenol to keep the fever down but by Sunday afternoon, neither medicine was helping and she was a hot 104.5. Finally another dose of tylenol helped and she cooled down a bit.

For Easter dinner, we had a newly baptized family over to watch conference and then have B-BQ'd chicken, potato salad, asparagus, cheese cake and this funny looking bunny cake!
